Changing Behaviour is Hard
From Behavioural Economics, we know changing behaviour is hard.
The ‘facts’ do not often change behaviour.
Changing Behaviour
Inform the rider

Think, Feel, Do
Think
– The facts are still important, they are platform that
everything else is built on.
Feel
– People rarely change their beliefs or behaviour because of
the facts – change happens at the emotional level.
Do
– Every story should be aimed at creating an outcome, an
action that the teller wants the recipient to do.
Example – USA Movie Popcorn
Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).
In 1994 it revealed that
Medium bag popcorn = 37 grams saturated fat.
USDA (United States Department for Agriculture).
Recommended maximum = 20 grams.

Movie Popcorn
Think, Feel, Do
• Think, the ‘facts’:
– Popcorn has saturated fat, saturated fat is not good,
there are limits
• Feel
– 3 junk meals in one day is dumb/gross
• Do
– When you are about to buy popcorn, think about all
that fat, feel a bit sick/scared, buy something else
Robust Simplification
Movie Popcorn Data
About double your daily fat allowance
Visual Story
A day’s worth of unhealthy food
Movie Popcorn
What was left out?
• Other things in the popcorn, e.g. salt & sugar
• Large bag of popcorn
• Other foods eaten in movie theatres
• Other comparators, e.g. normal daily meal
Structure
Narrative Flow
•A beginning, middle, and end
•The flow should be linear
•Use storytelling devices (e.g. humour,
personal anecdotes, interaction etc)
to enhance the flow
What are the key elements?
1. Link to the project objectives
2. ‘Need to know’ not ‘nice to know’
3. Supported by patterns or themes in the data
• Not just a single data point
4. Clear findings
• Try to ensure you are talking about large groups of
people – ideally majorities
For example:
• If men are slightly more interested
• If young people are slightly more interested
• If people in London are slightly more interested
• Check Young, Men in London – that may be the key message

Appendix
(Treasure Chest)
HT, Mike Sherman
Three Pieces of Evidence
• Focus on contrast, not repetition
– Different people learn in different ways
• For example:
– Quantitative evidence
– Qualitative evidence
– Video, open-ends, analytics
The Lead
Nora Ephron
When Harry Met Sally
Sleepless in Seattle
1st Day in Journalism School
5 Ws (Who, What, When, Where & Why?)
Asked to write the Lead for the school newspaper
“The entire school faculty will travel to Sacramento next
Thursday for a colloquium in new teaching methods.
Among the speakers will be anthropologist Margaret
Mead, college president Dr. Robert Maynard Hutchins, and
California Governor Edmund Brown.”
All the students wrote about the 5Ws – good, but not right.
The Lead?
No school next Thursday!
Truth Not Precision
MOVE!
TruthPrecision
Precision vs Truth in the real world
The Appendix
The Appendix
• Explain it is a Treasure Chest
– Not a garbage dump
• Make the information is easier to find
– A mix of tables, notes, and visuals
• It does not have to be one document
– It does not have to be in one place
• It needs to be one concept
– A single lookup system – accessing all the parts

Storyboarding
Feelings
The Weak Link Between Finding
the Story and Telling the Story
In finding the story we have multiple data sources
We have many analytical tools to find the story in the
data
• For example, you might use predictive analytics to find the
story
But, the best way to tell the story does not have to rest
on the ‘best’ data
• You might use an image or consumer video to tell the story
Research shows we make
too many mistakes
You learned this from the data, but the
image conveys the message.
Use Analogies
• Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You
understand it better but the frog dies in the
process.
• Pitching the film: Alien ‘like Jaws in space’
• ‘AI and big data is like high school sex, everybody
is talking about it, but nobody is actually doing it’
Take one thing away
from the ecosystem and
the whole system
collapses.
Memes
Tip – Collect Examples
Confusing messages
The Story?
• It is all about the Do!
• Use Think to find the Do!
• Use Feel to cause the Do!
• Structure your presentation to deliver the Do!
